Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel products have a neutral grey tone that complements any color scheme. They are a perfect solution for improving heat rejection without giving a ‘mirror’ look.
Key Benefits
- Neutral tone increases occupant privacy without significantly altering the look of the building
- Lower visible reflectance maintains views to the outside
- High heat rejection results in improved indoor comfort
- UV blockers protect people and property from damaging UV rays

Performance Notes:
- Performance results are calculated using NFRC methodology and LBNL Window software, applied to 1/4" (6mm) clear glass and are subject to variations within industry standards and only intended for estimating purposes.
- Performance results for glare and fade reduction are calculated by comparing filmed glass to untreated glazing.
